Summary

Malleous fracture surgery had a 2.06% infection rate, often linked to open fractures and Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment involved debridement and hardware removal, with most patients experiencing limited ankle mobility but no walking pain.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Infectious Disease

Context:

  • A decade-long study at the Department for Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology in Novi Sad.
  • Involved 485 patients undergoing surgery for malleous fractures.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of postoperative infections following malleous fracture surgery.
  • To evaluate treatment methods for malleous osteomyelitis and patient outcomes.

Summary:

  • Postoperative infection occurred in 2.06% of 485 malleous fracture surgeries.
  • Open fractures (8/10) and Staphylococcus aureus (8/10) were common in infected cases.
  • Osteomyelitis treatment focused on debridement and hardware removal, leading to limited ankle mobility but pain-free ambulation in most observed patients.
